Liberal Pam Dhanoa thinks the most important issues in the Fleetwood-Port Kells riding are tuition fees, prescription costs, and EI.
Her solution is more hand-outs in those areas, paid for by keeping taxes on employers high and cutting support for our Armed Forces. Surely a better solution for all three issues is lower taxes and higher employment, so people can meet their own needs.
NDP candidate Nao Fernando claims that Nina Grewal is rarely seen here.
Well, most of us have never met Fernando either – and he doesn’t have to spend time in Ottawa.
Grewal’s website has hundreds of photos of her right here in Fleetwood-Port Kells at charity fundraisers, community fairs, cultural and business events and meetings with constituents.
The great 12th century philosopher Maimonides said that while there are many kinds of charity, the highest form of charity is to provide jobs so people can meet their own needs with dignity.
A robust economy – not hand-outs – provides the most help to those who need help the most.
That’s what the Conservative government has done, with more people working now than before the recession, and we need to stay on course by re-electing Nina Grewal in Fleetwood-Port Kells.
